A few years ago I built a toy app for the Marvel API as a code challenge for a consulting job: https://github.com/ceautery/sixDegreesOfSpidey https://github.com/ceautery/sixDegreesOfSpidey
It's cute, but needs updated for a security vulnerability in jQuery, and I need to dig in and see why the mocha test for Absorbing Man got borked... although y'all are welcome to submit PRs if you're still looking for Hacktoberfest credits.
The README contains some of the oddities I found in the API, like some search types are more reliable than others, everyone eventually teams up with Iron Man or Wolvie, and the data is pretty incomplete (which makes sense if you have 79 years worth of data to compile from printed media).
* EDIT * - I've done the cardinal sin of leaving my API keys in the project. Marvel doesn't currently give you a way to generate new keys (that I could find), so enjoy while you can, but you should probably sign up your own account once my keys start hitting their API limit.
